We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Huawei Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"It is very stable. It has good hardware and very stable code. It provides good value for its price. They are a very lean type of organization, so they are very responsive, and they're able to focus more on their platform versus having multiple products out there."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"I like the spine as a leaf model and low latency. The hardware is robust and meets expected latency in all environments, mainly if you belong to the media or trading industry. For multicast-based solutions, Arista is number one."
"Arista Networks Platform is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"The most valuable aspect of Arista Networks products is their ease of configuration, especially when compared to Cisco products. When we implement advanced features for data centers such as BGP EVPN and VXLAN, Arista's configuration process is similar to that of Cisco's process, but at the same time it is simply much easier, clearer, and more understandable."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Ethernet Switches is the power ethernet which allows you to generate hubs to 10 Gbps data on the ethernet cable."
"Huawei Ethernet switches are easy to use and can be managed using either the GUI or via the command-line."
"We have not encountered any issues in the locations where the product has been deployed. I am impressed with its performance and pricing."
"If you're a small one-on-one organization, then cost-effective-wise, I would recommend it."
"Pricing-wise, Huawei is quite good."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"The solution is very flexible with many different options."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"They need to enhance their code and their EOS. They need to improve some security features, and there are quite a number of bugs in their system. So, they need to work on that piece. In the next release, we need to have a modular feature. Instead of providing an integrated solution, they should go for something modular. They need to come up with modular highly scalable models. Even at the chassis layer, I want to see some improvement."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"Something that you will often hear about Arista products is that the price is a bit too high and, like with Cisco, we sometimes have problems with our customers because of its pricing."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"Connectivity is an area that needs improvement in the solution. Interconnectivity with third-party versions or Cisco Meraki should be made available to users in future releases of the solution."
"The only thing that could be better is the security module."
"The performance has been slow at times."
"We had a few issues with integration."
"The interoperability of the devices, in general, on the Huawei switches is not good and is known to be not good. Maybe they can improve this a bit."
"The stability could be improved."
"We would like to see additional backup solutions, since we have several degrees of backup."
"The pricing could always be improved."
